"The bend and snap! I did that last night...naked..." ~Paulette.

Besides being totally un-realistic... None ^_~

This just goes to show that you can't really base your opinions on what other people say. I heard from a lot of people that this was a terrible movie...so I expected as much but I was pleasantly surprised. This is just a good old fashioned chick flick. Just curl up in your PJ's and grab your two best friends Ben and Jerry and enjoy. People we're probably disappointed in the fact that it doesn't hold the same charm as the first one. However, look at it on its own and it's a very sweet movie about the underdog persevering, not by underhanded attacks but with kindness and belief in oneself and others. Reese Witherspoon does an amazing job...and plays this role perfectly (I love her!). Sure it's corny (but not in a cheesy way...but more of a trying to get you to smile way) and it does recycle some of the same lines for the first...but it has a charm on all its own. This movie also has an underlying message about politics that rings true and it seems they tried to sneak that in there without trying to overpower the movie. Although, I didn't get the point of making her dog gay… I don't like how everyone is so mean to Elle! She's never done anything to them! Man! However, it's very sweet and heartwarming and makes you feel fuzzy inside. This is probably a big guilty pleasure for many. So, yeah...it's not realistic but it still is a good movie that'll put a smile on your face even on the snowiest of days ^_~ Because of this, the jury gives this flick:
